How to Remove a Password From a PDF Document
- 1). Open the file in Adobe Acrobat. When prompted by the software, enter all PDF passwords that you set when you first created the file.
- 2). Click "Advanced" then "Security" on the main menu. Choose "Remove Security" from the list of options. This brings up the "Document Properties" box.
- 3). Select "No Security" under the "Security Method" menu on the open dialog box.
- 4). Check "OK" next to each password option you set previously to remove that restriction. This includes the password to open the document, edit the contents (permissions), and print the PDF file. Click "OK" to save the new settings.
- 5). Click "File" then "Save" to save the new PDF file without the password protection. Check the file by opening it in Adobe Reader; you will no longer need to type in a password in order to access the various file options.
